Serological Evidence of Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Infections as a Potential Risk for Severity in Leprosy Patients

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 10, Page 1115-1123, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Leprosy presents a broad clinical spectrum influenced by the host's immune response, and co‐infections may further modulate disease progression. This study evaluated clinically diagnosed leprosy patients (n = 251) from Sergipe and Minas Gerais, Brazil, along with healthy controls (n = 43), soil‐transmitted helminths‐positive controls (n = 15),

Describing Diet of Imperiled Sierra Nevada Red Foxes and a Carnivoran Competitor Using DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Montane red foxes (Vulpes vulpes ssp.) native to western North America are of broad conservation interest, but their ecology is poorly understood due to their rarity. We examined the diet of the Sierra Nevada red fox (V. v. necator) in an unstudied portion of their range in Oregon, USA, then evaluated dietary overlap between red fox and coyote (Canis ...
